Description

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Art restorer and legendary spy Gabriel Allon searches for the missing wife of a British billionaire in the electrifying new tale of greed, corruption, and betrayal from #1 New York Times–bestselling novelist Daniel Silva.

Alice Winter, one of Britain’s most dazzling socialites, seemingly has the perfect life—a lavish home in posh Knightsbridge, a grand estate in Devon, millions of followers on social media who eagerly await her next post. But when she disappears without a trace while on holiday with three old friends from Cambridge, her desperate husband, the real estate baron Edward Knight, turns to none other than Gabriel Allon to find her.

He soon discovers that Alice Winter is not the woman she appears to be, that she has a reckless side, that she has secrets. But Edward Knight has a secret too, a secret so dangerous that Gabriel will have no choice but to return to the life he thought he had left behind. An old enemy lurks there, waiting for him to make one misstep, waiting for the perfect moment to exact vengeance.

From its irresistible opening chapters to its heart-pounding climax and shocking final twist, Ransom is a riveting, page-turning tour de force that proves yet again why Daniel Silva is the reigning master of international intrigue and suspense.

Reviews

  • Good not great

    Good, but not great. Worth buying. Weaker than previous Allon novels. Entertaining novel and objectively worth buying/reading. Qualitatively closer to the Allon equivalent of a potboiler though.
  • Great Allon adventure

    Enjoyed this book and then continued relationships between Allon and his collection of friends and colleagues in Britain. Missed his cast of Israeli team but still had suspense and twists and turns.
  • Not as good as other Gabriel Allon books

    Was frankly kind of a slow read. I have loved all the Daniel Silva books but this one was a bit of a snooze fest compared to others. Some elements predictable and formulaic. It just wasn’t the page-turner I expected.

    Enjoyed this book, seemed a little slow getting started. I’ve read all Daniel Silva’s book. He’s one of my favorite authors!

    I’ve always enjoyed Gabriel Allon’s exploits and this book does not disappoint, however I do not share Daniel Siva’s anti American world view and doubt I can enjoy this his books any longer. It’s a shame he is forced his political views into his writing.
  • Another Masterpiece

     I read all of the Gabrielle Allon books. This is not a full review because I’m only halfway through. So to keep it simple I would not highly recommend this last book in the series.

    Ransom is a very enjoyable, fast paced novel that takes place in the world of today with all of the its current international intrigue. As always, Daniel Silva’s books introduce my wife and I to new places to visit and explore.
